** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Aug 8 at *1629, LRA36 comes on with
fast CW message I am not prepared to copy or record, 1630 into song,
1633 ID for `Corazón Antártico` Wed 11-13 LT show. This is the
well-publicized Saturday special supposedly starting at 1700 and
staying on for 24 hours. From previous experience we know to tune in
at least half an hour early for the runup, so I`ve been listening
since 1617 via Brazil remote which gets it at S2-S3. The best one,
Pardinho is not available, and Dan Robinson says it`s now by password
only. Usual fill of mostly songs, 1645 another canned ID; 1656 plays
the Morse code again and this time believe I can copy ``LRA36`` toward
the end of it. Then voice IDs in Spanish, German, English and Russian;
``Nacional presenta: Corazón Antártico``, starting a few minutes
early, into ``live`` mostly YLs, with G.C. of Esperanza Base, staff
credits, and more chatter. I have to switch to a different Brazilian
KiwiSDR at 1717, S1-S2 or S3 but more local noise. 1737 break for a
song and then more talk. Altho publicized as an SSB test as if that
were something new, it still has a residual reduced carrier, obvious
when downtuned to 15475-USB.
However, since 1700 I`ve been preferably listening to the LA Opera via
KUCO-FM webcast, this week the underperformed ``La Clemenza di Tito``
by Mozart, with a much better $ tereo signal. I would need much better
reception from LRA36 to try to understand and get anything out of what
they are saying, so enough by 1751 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, August 8 from 1343, early
enough start to be thoro in the WOOB ranges before 1400*. Generally
JBA or JBA carriers except as noted: 16600 and stronger 16300 with
flutter; 15165 Chinese and fast SAH from VOA Thailand victim; 15130 vs
VOA Philippines; 14980, 14920, 14870, 13920 S9/+10, 13835; none just
above or below 13 MHz, unusual. The CW South Koreans inhabit.
At 1351: 12550 S8-S9, 12230 S6-S9, 12190 vs CODAR; 25m inband not
checked; 11460 & 11440 both S7-S9; 11150 & 11100 JBA carriers; 10820
S2-S3; none in the lower nines by 1357 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW, Aug 8 at 0614 UT, Enid`s only ND beacon, EI at
Woodring Airport, is back! I check for it every night, and only heard
occasionally OIN from Oberlin KS on 341. EI was first missing on July
23 so was off for a semimonth, 16 days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday August 8 at 0130 on WRMI-1 7780, which has been restored to
air after power surge damage, but NOT on 9955 which is now shown on
the sked grid, rather a preacher, previous occupant of this time? so
maybe WOR from next week? As also shown on sked, WOR no longer on 5850
& 5010, which had been a prime early airing and the only one across
mid-America 315 degree azimuth, on 5850. As usual 7780 is poor here
but good to the NE remotes. Skedgrid shows blank spaces for System F
5850 & 5010 at 0130-0200 on UT Wed, Thu and Fri. The latter would be a
good replacement for WOR as soon as it`s finished. The bumper off our
former spot is for only 15 minutes, so after 0145 there is World Music
fill, such as the polka? at 0150.
WOR 2046 also confirmed Saturday August 8 at 1310 the 1300 on WRMI
15770, JBA; 1320 slightly better, sounds like me. Next:

** U S A. 17815, Aug 8 at 1428-1430+, open carrier/dead air, the OSOB,
has to be WHRI which is active here weekends only; own sked shows
so-called Angel 1 on 17.815 not until 1900 on Sat & Sun. Even this
might be an exaggeration like so many other imaginary entries. HFCC
shows it registered available 1400-2100 daily, 85 degrees toward
Africa. Angel 1 sked shows that service is supposed to be on 21610 at
this time merely with LeSEA music fill, where we have not detected it
in ages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17775-, Sat Aug 8 at 1513, checking the remotes for KVOH
during presumed `Wavescan`: JBA at TWR Bonaire; no signal at TWRs Key
West, Boa Vista, Raleigh; but JBA at DR; not at Brasília (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. RF-31, Aug 8 around 1500 UT, minor tropo boost from Kansas
allows KDCU Derby (Wichita) to decode briefly with infomercial in
Spanish, after having spotted Bad signals on 8 and 10 likely also
Wichita into my broken UHF/VHF antenna (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 14895.6-USB, Aug 8 at 1358, 2-way in Spanish discussing
putas, and whistling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
